There's Power in Small Towns

We are drawn to small towns for the strong community they provide. Whether you're a lifelong resident or new arrival, Alabama's small communities offer a place to put down deep roots.

But increasingly our communities are under attack by corporate interests that run local shops out of business, shutter our hospitals, and pollute our rivers, providing only unstable poverty-wage jobs in return.

Politicians in Montgomery have taken away our right to local control, cut funding for our schools, and do nothing to create opportunities for young people who are forced to leave their hometowns to find work.

Hometown Action is a power-building collective of small town Alabamians fighting to build inclusive and sustainable communities where all residents can thrive.

We know residents offer the best solutions to local problems. Together we can build the multiracial working class power we need to take back our communities.
